I see that drinking with me has taught you nothing. :mad:

Yeah, he fails so hard. They didn't even call me when he was in town :(

Touche!

At least it isn't fucking Pabst.

My favorite beer is Red Stripe Jamaican lager. Delicious. I also tend to drink Yeungling, as I live in PA and it's the best of the cheapass beers. For liqour I prefer gin, light rum and a good vodka (Grey Goose or Ketel One).

and don't forget - the liver is evil and must be punished.

My favorite beer is Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale. Brewed in Southern California since '89 by a man who was fittingly born in a brewery, it's malty and almost sweet blend of hops molasses that goes great with a steak.

Stone Brewing Co., also from Southern California, brews some absolutely wonderful beers as well. Stone Ruination IPA is my second favorite brew. It's a bitter, hop-filled brew that just KILLS me. I would say that you ask Frank all about it but it's obvious that he knows shit about good beer.

Now that doesn't count because it wasn't from last night's binge.

The only sort of alcohol I can really tolerate is beer, and even then I'm usually not that fond of it. If I'm out somewhere and have to order something, I'd prefer to get a Guinness, but if I'm just hanging out with some friends or whatever, I've found that I like PBR unlike pretty much every other person on earth. Realizing now that I actually like cheap beers more than most of the fancy stuff my dad and other friends tend to get, I regret not ever having tried IC Light while living in Pittsburgh.

Also, for some unknown reason, Yeungling would get me the wickedest indigestion and farts ever.

Wine almost exclusively, as it's actually worthwhile beyond 'LET'S GET DERP DERPITY DERP-DERP LEGLESS'. Happens to be the only product that isn't overpriced in this country as well. Generally reds for me, shirazes, shiraz-cabs, pinot and cab-merlots, but dry rieslings (DRY), or a chardie on trusted recommendation I won't refuse.

People my own age still get all snideysuspenders when you order in company, though. You'd think they'd have largely come to their senses after secondary school, but no. He's drinking wine, he must be a Posh Hipster. As IF, so pretentious! TSK. Says the glare of the ill-kitted indie chick and dopey metalcunt beau. Bourbon and coke means you've just got polluted coke in your glass, people.

There is nothing more wonderful than a post which is deeply and comically pretentious and yet handwavingly butthurt about the idea that this pretentiousness should be perceptible.

How dare you think me arrogant, you insolent lowborn bastard

I'm glad that we finally got an Abrasive Wine Faggot in here, though. This thread was going nowhere.

There's more to wine than than getting shitfaced, Pang. That's where beer and spirits stop.

Yes, there is also the NOSE

and the FLAVOUR

and the HILARIOUS PRETENTIOUSNESS

Look, I'm sorry you're an Abrasive Wine Guy and you can't appreciate things beneath your station, but it's nobody's fault but your own :(

Okay there's been a misfire.

See, I don't care that others drink beer and mixers, but I do think it's a tad rich that Choosing Something Else leads to exactly the same display that winefaggots get charged with.

'I AM A TROLL ON TROLL AUTOPILOT. FEED ME YOUR SHURIKENS'

Eyes on the road, Pang!

Well, you seem to care an awful lot, but we'll let that go.

Wine, as a beverage, is mostly harmless but it is unfortunately guilty-by-association due to Wine Culture. Wine Culture and Wine Appreciation and Wine Tasting and all the foppy, bemusing delusional industries that have grown up around people who want to get tipsy but can't admit they want to get tipsy but instead want to become culturally enriched by the ethanol they're sipping ever-so-delicately.

So, as a Wine Guy, you immediately call all of these negative associations to mind. Sure, you can drink wine and not be That Douche Who Spends Every Summer Visiting French Vineyards, but the stereotype is there for a reason.

What man why do I have to be a troll just because I'm not a Wine Guy :mad:

So SCENESTERS are pretty daggy to us, no matter the stripe.

I reckon LeHah would have saved me about ten minutes in this situation.

Wait what?

Nvm, go back to that playdoh bust of Goldsmith

Its not playdoh, its goddamned sculpter's clay!

Blush wine is one of my favorites. It's so good and it gives me a pretty good buzz. The first drink I ever had was Jaegarmeister and Dr. Pepper, and it's my favorite liquor. I have two small dogs and I was going to name one Jaegar and the other one Meister but Zeph woouldn't let me. I named the boy Meister. :)

Hey just since it's on topic and junk... Has anyone heard of a movie called Sideways?

A decent film, if I've ever seen one, but really not much more than that. In short: Quaffable, but... far from transcendent.

I wouldn't even say it was quaffable. One of the few films I've turned off after half an hour of viewing. I've never had the misfortune of encountering 'wine people' in real life, but if they're even half as annoying as any character in that film...

Saw it in the cinema, thought it was a great yarn at the time. Gave it a spin a few months ago when I noticed a friend had the DVD. Couldn't bring myself to enjoy it anywhere near as much. For being one of those "obnoxious-pretentious-contentious-assholes-go-on-a-journey-that-mellows-them-out" flicks, it didn't have all that much character development.

Maybe I should read the book.

I like wine.
